Various Artists - Complete Solo 78RPM (CD) - CD

Details: Parisian, Emma Boynet (1891-1974) studied with Isidor Philipp at the Conservatoire and became an established part of the local music scene in the 1920s and 30s. She was one of the few French pianists to find success in the USA, travelling there for the first time in the company of her former teacher in 1934, and as a result, made several albums for Victor in New York, including a five-disc 78rpm album entitled 'French Piano Music'. Her career seems to have faltered in the 1950s but not before she made two highly regarded (but now rare) Faure LPs which have become collectors' items. We are delighted to reissue them here.
